Steve Jobs says Apple’s new campus looks ‘a little like a spaceship’

Apple’s Steve Jobs showed up at a meeting of the Cupertino City Council in California on Tuesday — and I think it’s safe to say this is the most excitement Cupertino’s city hall has seen in a while.

Jobs was unveiling his plan for a new Apple campus, featuring a massive doughnut-like building that can house up to 12,000 employees. (About half as many as the Pentagon.) He described the building as looking “a little like a spaceship landed.”

Jobs shows the new campus about five minutes into this video from the Cupertino City Council.
